After refusing marriage, she was pampered by the prince who acted as a shield.

Chapter 4: Nonsense

As for the Emperor and Empress Dowager... let's talk about that later!

In short, Li Zeyan is someone you absolutely cannot marry!

"My mistake was that, although I had always admired King Jinglie, I was afraid of his ruthless aura from his long years of fighting on the battlefield. In addition, I heard rumors that King Jinglie was not interested in women, so I dared not express my feelings to him. I repeatedly deceived my own heart and forced myself to forget King Jinglie!"

"I did not mean to deceive the Third Prince. He is a handsome and refined man. To have him as a wife would be the dream of every woman in the world!"

Lin Rusi suppressed her nausea and, out of necessity, praised Li Zeyan a few times.

"However, thanks to the grace of His Majesty and Empress Dowager, who bestowed the marriage upon me yesterday, my muddled mind has finally come to its senses. I dare not deceive the Third Prince any longer, nor dare I deceive His Majesty and Empress Dowager. That is why I have come here at the risk of my life to beg His Majesty and Empress Dowager to rescind their decree!"

As she spoke, she turned around, concealing her hatred, and bowed her head to Li Zeyan: "Here, this subject begs forgiveness from the Third Prince!"

"You!" Li Zeyan was instantly enraged!

Who said they would marry no one but him in this lifetime?

Who said that a day apart feels like three autumns?

And who said that only by marrying him and using the full power of her clan to put him on the throne could she have her wish fulfilled?!

Now it's suddenly become "I never liked it"?

The person she likes is the young imperial uncle?

Then why go to such lengths to make him abandon the eldest daughter of the Lin family and choose her, the third daughter?!

Going back on their word, what do they take him, a prince, for?

Is it for entertainment?

"Zeyan!" The Empress Dowager noticed that Li Zeyan was in a bad mood and stopped him in time.

Li Zeyan, panting heavily, forced himself to calm down. Finally, he let out another cold laugh: "Fine, considering you've just recovered from a serious illness, I'll forgive your nonsense today. The Emperor's decree has been issued; the wedding will take place on a chosen date!"

Upon hearing this, Si Yu felt weak all over, as if she had finally come back to life.

That's wonderful! The Third Prince didn't blame us, and he's even willing to marry Sisi, so the family won't be implicated...

"I'm not sick." Lin Rusi raised her head, her chest and back straight.

Si Yu nearly fainted from the shock.

Lin Rusi didn't have time to pay attention to anything else, she just stared at Li Zeyan: "Third Prince, you came to my house for tea yesterday, you clearly saw me, where did I get such a serious illness? And where did I get such a recent recovery?"

Li Zeyan, unable to contain himself any longer, slammed his fist on the table: "If you weren't sick, why would you be spouting such nonsense today?"

Lin Rusi gritted her teeth inwardly: "I've said it before, I love Prince Jinglie and I won't marry anyone else. How can I marry you just because I'm afraid of offending you? Even if I marry you, it will be a marriage of discord and unrest in the home! It won't be a good thing for the Third Prince!"

"You... then when did you fall in love with the young imperial uncle? Why have I never known this?!"

"Admiration is a private matter. King Jinglie is as noble as the clouds on a mountain peak. Even if I were to speak of it, I would only be asking for trouble. Why would I tell everyone about it?"

The two went back and forth, neither giving an inch.

But Si Yu fainted with a thud.

Lin Rusi turned around, forcing herself to calm down.

Mother, it's good that you fainted.

If you knew what kind of life your daughter led after marrying into the Third Prince's household, and to what extent she dragged the Lin family down, you wouldn't blame your daughter...

Li Zeyan is cruel, cunning, greedy, and has the ambition of a wolf!

But Li Zeyan is also very good at pretending.

Everyone thought that Li Zeyan was a gentle and refined gentleman!
